It is a source of great pleasure to us that the 4th Korea Prime Minister Cup (KPMC) International Amateur Baduk Championship is held in Jeonju. Jeonju city is the Mecca of Korean Baduk and the hometown of Lee Chang-ho. The 1st KPMC was also held here in Jeon-ju.  

In this tournament, 68 representatives have been invited. Guest officials from EGF and AGF, and Asian Baduk instructors are participating. During the tournament period, AGF General Assembly, International Baduk conference and Asian Baduk instructors' Works hop will be held here.  

Korea Amateur Baduk Association (KABA) became the 55th official member of KOC last February. We will do our best to promote Baduk all over the world. It is a really pity that we had to reduce the tournament period due to the H1N1 Influenza.

I would like to wish all the competitors the best of luck in the tournament.

In closing, I would like to express my gratitude all those persons whose dedicated efforts and support have made the tournament possible and a success.

Thank you.
